We are back with another update! This time, HumanitZ is seeing the addition of car modification and upgrades! But those of you who have been following us for a while know we never go small on our updates…we’ve added new POIs, evolved map locations, and lots of fixes and changes to improve the experience for everyone.
[/p][p]Server Info: We are happy to announce that we have now officially switched over to Bisect Hosting for all our official servers and now our official partner.
[url="https://www.bisecthosting.com/humanitz-server-hosting"]https://www.bisecthosting.com/humanitz-server-hosting[/url] [/p][p]Big news for our Brazilian Survivors! With moving to Bisect we now have official HumanitZ servers based in Sao Paulo.[/p][p]FULL SERVER WIPE AND RESTART IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO GET THE FULL EFFECT OFF ALL THE NEW FEATURES AND MAP UPDATES.
[/p][p]Localization: We have added the first phase of translation updates for PT-BR and there will be further updates to improve localization for all languages as we get closer to 1.0 (There will be missing translations and errors as we are still completing the full translation project)
